Lets see the reactions of some of the umno leaders on Anwar's acquital:From the Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak - The court ruling ..... has seen the government cleared once and for all of the many baseless accusations of political interference and conspiracy against the leader of the oppositionFrom Mahathir -the acquital proved that there was no government conspiracy or interference in the country's judiciary.
From Muhyddin - The acquittal would increase the confidence of Malaysians and the international community in Datuk Seri Najib.
And from Rias Yatim - The verdict shows that the country's judiciary is independent and able to deliver judgment without fear or favour.
My, my, my, such prasies being heaped on the judiciary, and all from just this one case which should not have gone to court in the first place, because it was based on an archaic provisionLets see the reactions of some of our umno leaders on Anwar's acquital:

My, my, my, such prasies being heaped on the judiciary, and all from just this one case which should not have gone to court in the first place, because it was based on an archaic
of the Penal Code that criminalises consensual sexual relations between adults. Moreover, according to the Bar Council, the verdict was made "in accord with the evidence presented". I wonder what the reaction would have been if the verdict had been the other way. In fact by the surprises expressed by most leaders, especially Mahathir himself , showed that the umnos have expected Anwar to be judged guilty, and the praises only showed up their hypocricy.
Mahathir's "Melayu senag lupa" seems to apply aptly to the umno leaders. No political interference and conspiracy? what a joke! And going further back, have they forgotten how the judiciary usurped the power of the Perak Asssembly Speaker thus causing the fall of the Pakatan government there? Have they forgotten Teoh Beng Hock"s case where the judge cant even decide whether it was suicide or homicide, or Ahmad Sabani's death as accidental.? The perception is that someone or some institutions are being protected by the judiciary, under the orders of someone in power, and we know who is pulling the strings. Dont they know that "One swallow doesnt make a summer"?

Hasan to fade into oblivion - Anwar to be the next PM
The year 2012, the year of the Dragon, has started off well, with two events that will herald in a more harmanious race relationship and a more just judiciary. Of course it may just be a flash in the pan, but it is a start.First we have the sacking of Hasan Ali. Undoubtedly he has been the cause of all the religious unrest and Christian bashing. Who besides this bigot, has been creating religious friction when there is none. Of course there were others, but they are just followers, but with him being cold storaged, there will be less said and done, and everyone can carry on living a peaceful life.
Even his offer of proofs with witnesses, etc have conditions attached to them. He said he has witnesses who will testify that they have been proselythised, and he can arrange for a meeting with this people. But here comes his escape hatch. However the meeting will depend on whether the witnesses will agree to come out, as they feared persecution and humiliation. Persecution from whom? Definitely not from the Christians, but from the likes of Hasan Ali and his Jais and Perkasa. So there is no meeting and so he escapes with another of his empty attacks without proof. Only a person with a devious mind can cook up such a scheme. Its amazing how a person who professes to do everything in the name of his god, cannot see the damage he is causing to the country.
If the law says it is wrong to proselythise, then charge those who are involved. But dont make ridiculous accusations without proofs.
The second event is the acquital of Anwar Ibrahim from the sodomy charge. Yes, the judge should be credited for his bravery to make a just stand, based on the facts presented and not presented in the case. However one swallow doesn't a summer make. But we already have the BN ministers coming out to capitalise on this mounmental decision, citing that it is proof that the court is independent. More will surface no doubt to heap praises on the judiciary. One MCA goon has even asked the Opposition to apologise to the public for doubting the court. Gee, after all the lob-sided and umno-fed decisions of the past, are we to jump for joy and conclude that the judiciary is finally independent, just because of Anwar's acquittal? Dont forget that the police's creditability is still in question, so is the MACC. So let's not cork the champaign yet.

10 Condition for 901 Rally
What is feared has now materialised. Yes, you can have your rally, but setting, not one, not two, but 10 conditions has made a mockery of the bill. This is the kind of professionalism we have in our police force. The Kiasu syndrome has set in. Not wanting to lose face altogether, they now impose 10 conditions.
Can you imagine, 100,000 gathered in one spot and we are not allowed to make noise. And how do they define noise? 100,000 talking at the same time, is that making noise? Or are we supposed to look at each other like zombies?
Furthermore the police has confined the rally participants in the area of the car park which the IGP said can hold only 5,000 people, and anyone outside the car park would mean they are gathering illegally and can be arrested. So with 100,00 attending, where are these people supposed to gather? So this will give the police the excuse to use their batons, water canons and create chaos. Subsequently this will be blamed on the rally participants for not following the conditions.
I have already suspect that the police will not simply submit totally to a rally without any strings attached. It is a matter of face saving, and so out comes the 10 conditions. I am sure the rally organsiers are aware of such tactics.

Do the UMNO Malays know what is Face Saving?
Face saving is a very imporant aspect of any race culture, especially to the oriental people. Losing face will bring disgrace to the family, and if you are from a well-known family, the disgrace and dishonour may bring tragedy.The Japanese. especially, shows how it is to lose face and harakiri is one way out for them. However another less horrible way is for those who have done wrong or brought disgrace, to voluntarily resign from their posts. The Malays too place great emphasis on face saving. However this doesn't seem to apply to the umno Malays. We have read of so many exposures of corruption, abuse of power and mismanagement, and yet the people involved are still holding onto their posts. And even when convicted, they still screamed that they are victims of conspiracy or people out to topple them. Among those recent ones who have 'lost face' are Zahrihat (cowgate), Khir Toyol, Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom (abuse of RM32,150 in zakat money), Deputy Finance Minister, Awang Adek Hussin (depositing cash contributions into his own account), and others who are being investigated by the MACC.
What's wrong with these people? Dont' they know the meaning of shame? or most probably the sign of the ringgit, in millions, simply blocked whatever shame they have.
And have you ever realised that most of these top corrupted leaders are not the pure Malays, but 'celup' Malays. Khir Toyol is an Indonesian by birth and Zahrihat and Mahathir were Mamaks. So what does this mean? It simply means that the pure Malays are being conned by foreigners who came, convert into Muslims, conquer and 'rampas' whatever belongs to the Malays. Sure there are Malays who have also 'rampas', but they are only following the edict "what monkeys see, monkeys do" , and their 'rampasan' are peanuts. People like Mohamed Ghani Abdul Jiman of Penang (another mamak) who has been given a life-long task of bringing down Lim Guan Eng and Ibrahimm Ali are only foot soldiers, given peanuts to create diversions, so that the big guys at the top can have smooth passages to stash up treasures both in the country as well as overseas. (remember Taib and Zahrihat?). What do these people know about "Face Saving"?

Umno's version of Transformation.
Here we go again. This time its about the appointment of a muslim which was not in the list submitted, as Head of Bukit Nanas Convent. The umno government creates the isssue, the church is not happy and opposes, and in comes Perkasa and other religious bigots and accuse the Christians for trying to control the country and for underminding the authority of the muslims. Why dont they, the govt. just follow the normal practice of selecting a candidate from the list submitted by the church? If we look back, all past religious conflicts were started by the govt. by changing the normal practices. The 'Allah' issue has not been an issue for umpteen years since Independence, until the Akbar fellow came out with a ruling. And where is he now? but sitting comfortably as Chairman of Land Public Transport commission after creating the mess. There was also a non issue regarding the Christian community helping others (including non-Christians) by giving aid in various forms. It then suddenly became an issue and what is worse, the Christians are accused of using these aid methods to prosthelytizing the muslims. I appeal to all sensible muslims to think of the following.
a)The Christians make up only 10% of the population b) The police, the army and the Navy are controlled by the Malays under Umno, c) The judiciary and the MACC have no minds of their own, d) most of the giant corporations are in the hands of the Malays. So how on earth can the non-malays, especially the Christians take over the country and instal a Christan Prime Minister. People who entertain such a scenerio either belongs to the loony asylum or they are bent on causing trouble. They just couldn't be bothered with what happens to the country.
